I missed that. The guys I’ve talked to that were given a mid day rest to return for a PM assignment were given a flight assignment. Along the lines of having come in to cover a 6am standby, being called at 6am to release to rest and then do a late day turn and then a flight to an overnight. The worst one was someone called in the morning to release to rest to do a CDO. I’ve yet to talk to a guy yet that fatigued these and that’s what CS keeps doing it.

I know it’s contractually legal, but frustrating for those of us who prefer either AM or PM flying.

Jeez, don’t you know? This is one of the things the union agreed to “talk” about with the company during our last screwing-over, which was not agreed upon by the pilot group. Your dues hard at work for the benefit of the entire group!

But did you get paid for it? 🤔

30 minutes round trip walk to LGA CPO and if you have a JFK line forget about it. There is nothing in the contract that says anything about checking in while on probation. If they want to fire you let them figure it out.
